-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Somebody really , really wants to get an audience with Apple CEO Tim Cook .

An anonymous bidder paid $ 610,000 to chat over coffee with Apple 's chief executive , according to online-auction site Charity Buzz , which began accepting bids about three weeks ago .

Tuesday 's winning bid came only several minutes before the auction closed at 4 pm ET . The auction site had valued the meeting with Cook at $ 50,000 .

Proceeds from the auction will go to The RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights , an international nonprofit founded as a memorial to Robert F. Kennedy by his family and friends .

The auction saw 86 bids , many of them from companies that do business -LRB- or want to do business -RRB- with Apple .

The coffee chat will happen at Apple 's Cupertino , California , headquarters . The winner may bring along one guest . Travel and lodging for the visit , which will last between 30 minutes and an hour , are not covered .

Visitors will be required to sign a nondisclosure agreement and are subject to a security screening . Also , they ca n't liveblog or tweet during their meeting .

The move fits in with the more open public persona Cook has adopted since replacing late Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs . In the past 18 months Cook has met with members of Congress on Capitol Hill and toured factories in China that make Apple products .

By some measures , a $ 600,000 coffee meeting with the chief of the world 's leading tech company might be a bargain . An anonymous bidder paid $ 3.4 million last year for lunch with star investor Warren Buffett .
